I always liked Streamlight’s options but if you’ve tried both brands…might give Felix a look for an EDC light.

@@ninjasquirrels Streamlight makes good lights but they always seem to be a bit behind on newer tech BUT expensive even with the older tech. Don't get me wrong, they are usually solid lights and REALLY don't release a light until it's right but man...the charge for it! I have a Streamlight on my shotgun and used to carry them back in the halogen days when they were king but I just find they don't justify the premium anymore. That being said I think Fenix is great in the middle sized range lights. The single 18650 lights. Smaller lights like single RCR123 lights, other people do better. Larger lights other people do better. But that light in this size range, for the money, Fenix kicks ass at. Which is where the classic Streamlight territory is.

@@ninjasquirrels Point is I have used them both and they are a great flashlight for the money. Streamlight makes great flashlights too, just more money, but honestly there IS something to be said for having a classic, well regarded, name in your pocket. That DOES count for something! A pair of aviators from another brand may be just as good but I prefer my Randolph Engineering pair...cause I just know the quality and the history is there.

I started out with many brands of lights in the end I stuck with Fenix.

olight warrior mini 2 has the proximity sensor which does it for me since things have a tendency to turn on in my pocket

Hey i have that addictions too 😂

Look to my channel haha

How often have you had to batteries

@@DCsGladiator I have 2 rechargeable batteries. I think I bought another 2 after 5 years. They last a long time. Still works great and it's as bright as the first day I bought it. One of the best flashlights in my opinion.

@@mityjoeyoung8855 thanks for the feedback

@@DCsGladiator you will not be disappointed. You can even mount it on a shotgun. It's shock resistant. It's one tuff light. I can't kill this thing if i tried.

I have the same light, double click engages the lock out feature.

@@CytoplasmicGoo Thanks, I will try that!

That works great. Thanks for the tip!

@@KepmukNesshart No problem, I learned my lesson when the light went on inside my pack and melted a sandwich bag.

yeah mine does too, I assuming its designed to preserve battery life

​@@JunkyardFoxThanks. I was worried that I got a bad one .

glad you liked it, thanks for watching

this is the reason I don't buy fenix, after the pd40r v2 I won't buy fenix again

Turbo always works until you get close to 25% but that's a limit of the chemestry in the battery

@@Studat Why?

@@reahs4815 The PD40r v2 wouldn't hit turbo if the battery was 85% or less which means you never really got to use the Max lumens.

@@reahs4815 no, the battery needs to be 85% full or more to hit turbo, anything less and it doesn't hit turbo.

He’s not to keen on them as he has stated towards the end of the video.

@@CytoplasmicGoo, fair enough, I must’ve missed that part.

It would be great for that line of work

If you have gigantic pockets, I suppose

I was wondering about this same things, should I just order the older pd36r original than?

Why does evedy light need to be below 30 lumens at the lowest in order for it to not be a deal breaker?

​@@MemphisMojo15sBecause it is a reading light mode. Up to 5 lumen is ok I'd say, but 30 is likely to reflect on white paper and blind the reader.

@@WeldingForJesus I understand that part of it, but not all lights are small enough to have that low of an output on Eco, or they may have a much higher lumen output and 5 or less lumens wouldn't make sense. Example I can use is my LR35R..it is 10k lumens but the Eco is 50 lumens. I love the 30 lumen Eco and I do believe the reason Fenix has such higher Eco lumens is because most of their customer base requests it. I have a E09R and it is super super tiny but has a 600 lumen burst, but the lowest is so low that even in the darkest of dark, it's difficult to see much. I guess it depends on the person. Keep welding for Jesus!! He is coming soon 🙏🙌

@@MemphisMojo15s For me personally, low mode is used for sneaking to bed without waking up my better half since I work nights and go to bed around 3-4 a.m. and neither wish to trip and stumble nor shine so bright that it'd disturb her sleep. As such, a 1 lumen output works, though barely, 30 is a bit on the bright side, but 5-15 is pretty much spot on. I can still understand people that use a moonlight mode for pure reading, at least on the small to mid size lights. And yes, I know the time is very short judging by the state of things. We may not know the day or the hour, but I'd say we are in the season. God bless!

@@WeldingForJesus I agree with what you said and Amen 🙌

its 120 because it will last a lifetime and is very powerful
